Quietness and Comfort

On some days, I need to sit a long time on my Rock of Refuge. Sit quietly, listen, read, come to my Father. If I simply run past it, run ahead with my schedule, my work, my obligations … then my day becomes thirsty and hungry.

This morning, I needed to sit a long time. I needed quietness and comfort.

If you are at such a place also, let these Scriptures water your soul:

Isaiah 33:17The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.

This chapter goes on to say thatmy people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely,how blessed you will be, sowing your seed by every stream, and letting your oxen and donkeys range free.

God wants our friendship, our fellowship, our communion. And that is just amazing. He seeks us. He went to extreme measures to bring us back into a relationship with Him.

he is mighty to save.

And as He says so many other places in Scripture, He alone can save me. He alone can deliver me from the traps set for me, from the enemies of my soul. He can work for my good in everything. If He is for me, who can hold or harm me?
